The Galleries

The studio has been pretty quiet for the past few weeks, as my day job has taken up most of my time. I haven’t started any new paintings as of late. But yoursilentface.com is still here. Please enjoy the galleries, the playlists, the shop. Thanks for dropping by.

Here are some quick links:

Paintings Make a Wall

The new painting, Space Buffer, hanging in the living room so I can study it some more.

Lila, Our Beautiful Maine Coon

Space Buffer

Here it is, my first painting of 2021. Still thinking about the future: space travel, physics, quantum theories, multiple time lines, first contact, the singularity. If I could have a superpower, then I would choose teleportation. Wouldn’t that be sublime? If we can imagine it, can we create it? Does it already exist?

I am pleased with how this painting turned out. The long period of thinking over what was bothering me about it paid off. Here is the new version. Thank you for visiting the site. Be sure to check out the shop and galleries.

Progress & Process

I’ve been working on a new painting, but it has been a slow process. Here are a couple details of my progress. We’re all in process, aren’t we? It’s hard to live in transition. I hope your new projects are progressing along.

One conclusion I’ve come to is that the pandemic and current political climate are not conducive to creativity, but one of my favorite poets (Ron Padgett) once basically said that you have to try and be creative in those moments when you don’t feel inspired.
